The Cincinnati Dirt Bowl is an indoor r/c raceway. This winter we are changing to off-road. The track use to be a 120' oval, and we ran sprint cars and late models. I was only getting 9 or 10 guys most of the time. Sometimes we would have a decent turnout, but it is tough. There has not been a r/c dirt oval in Cincy for 20 years and there is probley only 10 guys that run dirt oval in the whole city and they all raced at the bowl. the problem is the money. If a guy has nothing and wants to run toward the front he has to spend $1000 to $1500 to get started for a sprint car or late model (1/10th scale). It is no different than any other kind of racing. If one racer is buying a new set of $40 foam tires every week, then everybody has too. Plus it takes lots of work to keep the track in shape.

Off-road r/c cars are a different story. There are way more people into off-road, and it is much cheeper to get started. The trucks we are going to race this winter cost $275 and you can take it right from the hobby shop and race it. The trucks are really cool. They are 1/16th scale stadium trucks,(CORR off-raod trucks) and we are going to race them box stock. There will be a modified class also for the guys that just have to spend money. We should be open for practice in Sept. and racing starts in Oct.



Enough about the r/c cars lets talk TQs.
What gear should I start with for Greensburg? How much stagger do you guys run? Is it a big deal if I don't have a 4-wheeler yet?
